You've seen my advert on Luxe Herbal, here's my review on their service and treatment!

I used to have hip-long hair length, my scalp tends to be quite oily while my hair ends were dry.

I had a haircut a week plus prior to my visit and treatment at Luxe Herbal (making dry ends no longer a concern) so, my main issue was my oily scalp.

Before treatment, a consultant will sit down with you in a neat warm room to go through some general questions in regards to history of your mane issues, followed up by a scan of your scalp and hair conditions.

Overall, the salon has a neat elegant look with comfy chairs to seat on and iPads with quite a nice mix of movies available to watch while you get your treatment done.

Here is the breakdown of my treatment for my oily scalp:

1) High Frequency Therapy

- Used to stimulate scalp and kill off any germs or bacteria

Do not be alarm if it makes a slight zapping or buzzing sound.

I was told that it may sting a little but it didn't for me, so just something to be aware of.

2) Comb Massage with wooden comb

- Used to stimulate scalp

I felt like a child having my mum comb through my hair, and I found it quite relaxing~ haha!

3) Wash

 They used a minty shampoo that left my scalp feeling refreshing and I also note that the shampoo chair angle was just right, and I didn't need to strain neck or engage my entire core muscles to lift my head up.

4) Scalp Massage with Ginger Wine Tonic & Lemongrass Oil on ends

- Ginger Wine Tonic is massaged into scalp to prepare the pores on your scalp for the absorption of the herbal remedy

- Lemongrass Oil is applied to the ends to moisturize hair ends while steaming

I was told that this Ginger Wine Tonic was specially formulated here, so you cant get it anywhere else. It has a warm-heating sensation. Do note to inform them if it drips onto your face, because it will feel absolutely uncomfortable on your face. But it was pleasant and refreshing on the scalp.

5) Herbal Mask Treatment

- Contains ginseng, amla, he shou wu, fenugreek, dangui and brahmi

- Has the effect of boosting blood circulation and detoxifying the blood

- Supports hair growth and reverse premature graying of hair

- Combat dandruff, scalp irritation

- Toughen the hair at the roots to prevent detaching and promote stronger and healthier hair growth

- Helps the body adjusts to and diminishes stress

This herbal mask is left on and steamed for 30mins. It felt cooling on my head, and it does smell quite herbal. I was also told that Luxe Herbal formulated their very own recipe for this mask that is specially concocted with premium Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs.

6) Wash and Blow & Dry

After 30 minutes, the mask is rinsed off  with the same shampoo. This time round, my scalp was massaged during the wash. This was followed by a conditioner and further rinsing. 

Then once I was back at my seat, a warm shoulder beanie was placed before my hair was blown semi-dry.

7) Intense Scalp Massage with Hair Fall Rescue Tonic

- Helps blood circulation

The scalp and shoulder massage was really good! And after that, my hair was blown dry and styled.

8) Infer Red Therapy

- Assist penetration of tonic and improve blood circulation

The therapy was for a duration of 10mins and it felt slightly warm.

Overall Thoughts & Results:

The entire treatment lasted about 2 hours for me and cost $150 for my treatment.

That being said, the cost of the treatment is based on individual requirements and needs.

So, just how well did the treatment went for me?

Taking a look at my scalp scan before and after the treatment, there are some significant improvement!

Before, my pores were covered with dead skin cells and sebum (Top left-hand corner) and I had a huge clog in one of them (so gross! yuck!)!!!

After the treatment, you can clearly see that the dead skin cells and sebum are gone and the clog has shrank! I was told that I will require a few more session to get it cleared completely. I can now see what Luxe Herbal dare to claim that they are efficient in delivering results with just 3 treatments. 

As for the scent, there was hardly any herbal smell left after it was washed off. There was a hint of it with the scent of shampoo and conditioner used. Personally, I am ok with the herbal scent. If you wash your hair regularly with a fragrant shampoo, the smell will fade away faster. I use a mild natural shampoo so the herbal smell lasted 3 days for me.

The Different Types of Treatment Used

It's no secret that age, genes, micro-organisms and stress are the drivers of hair related issues and that is why Luxe Herbal's treatments caters to treat them through these steps:

HIGH FREQUENCY THERAPY

Using high-frequency therapy to detoxify the scalp and kill off any micro-organisms (germs/bacteria) and aid in cell regeneration, this step is gentle and safe.

SCALP MASSAGE

Relax and forget about your stress and worries. Indulge in the ten finger acupressure massage by trained therapists that enhances blood circulation for your scalp. This treatment will help improve your overall health at the same time.

INTENSE SCALP MASSAGE

Taking a step further, trained therapists also use ancient Ayurvedic techniques of scalp massage to help you relax, and improve blood circulation to the scalp that provide hair roots with nourishment. This is vital for hair growth in addition to stimulating blood flow to the scalp. The scalp massage is soothing and helps prevent headaches as well as benefit sleep patterns. Studies have shown that scalp massage is beneficial to the relief of headache and benefit those who suffer from insomnia.

HERBAL MASK TREATMENT

Luxe Herbal offers their very own formulated recipe specially concocted with premium Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs.

These herbs are slowly and carefully brewed for two hours to allow thorough extraction of essence and nutrients. The treatment masks are then immediately packed into individual sachets to ensure freshness and avoid contamination. Upon customer’s arrival, the herbal mask is heated up to further prevent contamination.

It also facilitates the penetration of the herbal essence into the scalp and helps stimulate healthier hair roots.

OXI-WASH TREATMENT

First of its kind in Asia, Luxe Herbal brought in the state-of-the art technology from Korea, using oxygen to give the dead and tired pores a new life. Oxygen is an ideal element to cleanse the scalp and it is proven to clean up to 98%, of the scalp. With a clean scalp, treatment has proven to be five times more effective compared to a normal hair wash. During the washing process, oxygen is being directed into the scalp using water technology which locks the oxygen in, enabling the scalp to absorb the oxygen which is needed for hair growth.

INFRA HEAT THERAPY

Using infra heat therapy to enhance the absorption of our hair treatment into the scalp, this ensures maximum effectiveness. Instead of using hair dryer which is damaging to the scalp and hair, infra heat therapy is used to dry the hair while allowing nutrients to penetrate into the scalp.
